    Default Reroll/luck and event drops

    STS - Does reroll actually prevent you from looting an arcane belt/artifact from the event boss? Lots of people get mad when someone uses Hisha AA and it would help if we can get confirmation.

    Luck making things worse seems pretty much the opposite of what luck should do

    OP I am glad you posted this. It's a valid & good question considering I was thinking Arcane pets were the most effective to use for AF event.

    I wonder could you get better loot if you didn't reroll at all or does reroll automatically give better loot? It really doesn't seem that way.

    I realize your asking for dev input (& I hope they do), but I can answer about how the devs structured pl drops as an example of what they likely did here.
    In pl they made separate drop tables where some types of drops like legendary could be rerolled, and the most rare types of drops could not reroll.

    I think players assume luck pets hurt their chance because they never see one after a reroll and don’t know that luck table isn’t affected buy rerolls.

    Luck is irrelevant in the case of some rare drops, but not an impediment.

    ^This

    During this year's valentines event a dev confirmed that set pieces (best drop of the event) are in different loot table and isn't affected by luck. Can be the same with the arcanes in this event too. Hopefully a dev will cofirm and remove all doubts, as some people are getting very toxic over this in event map.

    I don't understand why there are so called 'luck' item in game when luck is never part of the gameplay. IMO, this is the biggest scam by sts.

    I can believe that considering I wear luck & reroll gear/pets to help. Doesn't seem to make much a difference if any at all. Except with energy drops...

    Reminds me of the old "open all chest for good boss loot" and "don't open any chests for good boss loot". Or the "must kill boss naked for best drops".

    I can see where if luck has nothing to do w/ the desired drops, then maximizing damage would be best. However, it does not mean luck hurts drops.

    Different loot table for items till mythic and then different for heroic and arcane. One rerolls, one doesn't.
    I would still love to have a dev approve on this because a lot of people are spreading rumors in the game how using luck is bad for drops.

    How it works currently:

    Mobs can have multiple loot tables. Rerolls happen independently within each loot table.

    If you get an item from a loot table, reroll behavior is different based on the rarity of the item from your initial roll.

    common, rare, epic: If there are items of the next better rarity in the table, you get one of those.
    legendary, mythic, set, spirit, vanity: Roll again on all items in the loot table. If the resulting item is a better rarity, you get that instead.
    arcane, heroic: no reroll, you get the initial item.

    So in other words if it was meant to drop for you it's going to happen and a heroic/ arcane does not reroll no matter what.

    That's what it looks like.

    And that means pink stuff re-rolls into Set stuff? I thought Legendary was in the group of Common/Rare/Epic before.

    So if you get a mythic you can reroll and get arcane/heroic?

    The way Mr. Futumsh says it means that it will just re-roll rarities from the same group. So basically a Mythic item can re-roll into Set or Vanity, but not Arcane or Heroic.

    That's correct, though unlikely, since unless there's nothing less rare than mythic in the loot table, the second roll probably won't be better than the first, so it would stick with the first.

    No, for the example of the first roll being a mythic, it rerolls from everything. If the second roll happens to be an arcane, you get an arcane. It's more likely that the second roll won't be better though, since the better rarity stuff is... more rare.

    So that means that any item can re-roll into Set for example? And any item can re-roll into Arcane?

    What about the items that go in the satchel? Like in this event, do legendary amounts of Vales roll into Arcane?

    Edit: nevermind, I just saw that you already answered it. Thanks.

    Edit 2: What about the drop chances of Vials in Arena Chests and Elite Shuyal, Tindirin, and Planar Tombs? How can a Rare item be more rare than a Mythic item?

    Individual items or item groups can also have different drop rates. It's possible for a 'rare' item to have a lower chance to drop than an 'epic' item, or less of a chance than another rare item in the same loot table. Also, most of the potential vial drops are from a loot table that only has the vial, which wouldn't be affected by rerolls.

    Some people were crying that their arcane was re-rolling into vanity. Thanks for the clarification to remove such rumors. By the way, does spirit items drop somewhere? Or is it for the future?
